Solid oxide fuel cells give our customers another way to achieve their environmental sustainability goals.

Key Points: 
  • Solid oxide fuel cells give our customers another way to achieve their environmental sustainability goals.
  • SOFCs use a ceramic electrolyte to convert the energy in a fuel to power through a series of electrochemical reactions.
  • With a continuous supply of fuel and oxygen, the fuel cells can be linked or stacked together to power a variety of applications.
  • Advocates envision a day in the near future when solid oxide fuel cells regularly power major energy users like data centers, removing them from an increasingly over-burdened electrical grid.
